Free-fall

Free fall of life to a padding below

I cry out for something to catch me

Fear encapsulates my every day of no suspension

Joy and confidence are robbed of me

By a thief I never see

Life becomes a walk in the dark

Without a path to follow

When you fall from nowhere to anywhere

Hope and desire

Scream for a cushion

At the end that never comes

True persons do not wait

For an expected object to catch them

Where instead they relent to desire for anything

Are we to be caught

Fall from anywhere into nowhere

Yet long for a soft bottom

To bring back joy and confidence

Is there such thing to catch me below

Catch me and throw me away

From a free fall of life

Could my free fall end

Will love await me at the bottom

Screaming for its existence

My voice seems to escape

Into the sheet around me

Unsheathe the sword to rip the shroud

Wings should blossom to hold

Carry me to love

Somewhere

Anywhere

Free fall of joyless life

I pray you end

In a cushion of love
